transmission question

sorry forgot to enter question.     Got this transmission and don't know what it fits.    Know for sure it isn't for my 49 b1b.   What does it fit??

[Merle Coggins]

That would be from a ‘50 or later column shift truck.

Your shifter will fit on this transmission and in your truck, if you need a transmission. Assuming your truck is a 3 speed

My 3 speed is a top shifter and my steering column has no shifter lever.    Could I remove top from this transmission and install my top load shifter and install in truck?

Fits and works fine. My '51 was a column shift and has been converted to a floor shift by adding an early model top shifter.

I did the same thing. It was a fluke that my parts truck had a floor shift. My column shift was not in good condition, somewhat of a battle to drive.

I have a similar transmission decoding question. My truck is a 1941 WC. I have always assumed that the engine was from a 51 Plymouth because both the head and block have casting dates in December of 1950 and there is a “P” on the cylinder head. The block serial number is tough to read but looks like TDA 14070. The transmission has part numbers 2B13-1, 35651 and a Diamond shape with a large "S." Do these part numbers indicate that it is original to the truck? Original to the engine? Or something else? 

Thanks & happy holiday’s,

Woah....this is deja vu as I was going to ask that exact same question! You can see my other thread on a bombardier ram skidder. It is a 2 speed tranny plus reverse. I have that exact tranny and would love to know what it is. The shift is L N H, using the side lever, and once in neutral you can pull the top lever forward and it will allow you to use the side lever to engage reverse. I popped the top off mine for an inspection and it was nice and clean inside.

Is your transmission a 3 speed floor shift with the floor handbrake lever? If so then it is probably the original truck transmission with a car engine. The last year for floor shifter in a car was 1938 and they are completly different than the truck trans.

That is a 3 speed tranny. The top lever allows you shift the side lever between reverse and 1st, then release and lever shifts between 2nd and direct (3rd).

Thanks for the guidance. My truck is a four speed, so I’ll assume it is original to the truck until I’m proven wrong by incompatible parts.

I dont disagree, but it did not make sense when I opened it up. Any idea what model it is?

[kencombs]

That type of trans, top cover, 3 spd, is common to a lot of 50s Dodge pickups.  Looking it up in my Hollander there is almost a full column of source vehicles.  Dodge and Ford trucks are the worst for finding that in a Hollander since everything is listed by series and/or mode. numeber.  So delivery vans, trucks, pickups etc all generate a list item.  And I'm not well versed in those model IDs.
